This home is built in the old Santa Fe "Pueblo style" adobe construction. The original part of the home (living room, two smaller bedrooms, and what was a front porch-now entry way and bathroom) was built in the early to mid 1920's by Adolfo Gallegos. The dirt for the adobes was actually dug from the property. There is a lowered terrace at the northwest end. The living room beams are actually planks from the old Buckman bridge. One side of each beam is flat, the other side has dips where wagon wheels once traveled. All the interior walls are thick adobe, with the exception of the north wall in the hallway. The den and large master bedroom have original tongue-and-groove decking, with beautiful support vigas. Vigas are visible in the original bathroom. While they are present in the kitchen and small bedrooms, they have been covered with ceiling material. The den also has wonderful railroad tie type cross beams over doors and windows. Once warmed from the heat inside the house in the winter, the walls have an amazing ability to hold the heat in the home. Likewise, they help cool the house in summer. The detached carport with shop and studio was built in 1968, and replaced an old building at that location. It is constructed with concrete block.
